The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Chadron, NE, is dedicated to cultivating leaders who advocate for a food system that values social, environmental, and economic justice. This enriching program sponsors and trains Fellows to become knowledgeable educators and advocates, promoting organic food systems through hands-on experiences and community involvement. Participants engage in diverse activities, including growing and distributing crops on market-style farms, maintaining community gardens, and integrating food and ecological literacy into educational initiatives. Emphasizing accessibility, the Fellowship does not charge tuition and includes a six-month experiential residency at AMI's farm, followed by a Community Action Year where Fellows apply their skills in collaboration with local non-profit organizations. Applications are accepted until March each year, with the program running from May to October, empowering the next generation of food advocates to benefit their communities.
